Refactoring My Learning Logs: Why I Rewrote Emotional Notes into Fact-Based Technical Reports

Short summary

A Japanese truck driver transitioning to web engineering describes refactoring past learning logs from emotional, subjective notes into fact-based technical reports. The process involved removing metaphors, documenting exact time and constraints, and aligning dates across articles and GitHub repos. The author frames documentation as a maintainable asset requiring ongoing care, similar to code refactoring.

  • Refactored 3 articles and GitHub docs from emotional to fact-based format
  • Removed subjective language; structured exact time, constraints, and logic
  • Treats documentation as maintainable assets to reduce 'documentation debt'
